Hey! I’m Jess!

Just a 30-something, trying to make the best out of life. I lead a busy life so in my downtime I binge tv, watch movies, read books, or hang out with friends! For more on the history of me and this blog, check out my “About Jess” page!

This week’s question: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to get your hands on any particular book?

Does driving to New Orleans to attend the ALA conference count? Because I think that’s as craziest it gets…and it was to get my hands on Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins, mainly. I ended up getting other fabulous books too, but that is the one I would have trampled over people for.

Yes, I think The Sky Is Everywhere is fantastic too! It makes me want to keysmash and have hearts in my eyes. So lovely and heartwarming. Haha, that’s a great story for Lola! I’m sure loads of other people would do the same.

Hahahha. If only I live in the US! I think I will do the same thing like you! I really really love Stephanie Perkins book and I’d do the craziest thing to get the book ASAP!! I also really love The Sky is Everywhere . It was such a beautiful book!! Old follower! :)

Jessica@a GREAT read

Yeah, I’ve done things like that. Like pay $75 to attend Bouchercon for 1 day to see 3 of my fave authors. Since it was 3 and 1 was one I never met ever, I found it to be totally worth the money. Got a few freebie books too, haven’t gotten to reading the ones I wanted to read yet though!

I’ve heard great things about The Sky Is Everywhere one but I haven’t read it yet. I’ve heard it is heart-swelling, just like you say. I almost didn’t recognize it because of this cover…I’m so used to seeing the other one with the blue and the hearts.

I don’t really think I’ve ever done anything crazy for a book before. Buying them is about as crazy as I get! And that’s because I’m so tight on myself with my budget. HA!

Haven’t done your TGIF book. But looking forward to that review. Love the vines on the cover.

As far as the craziest thing I’ve done for a book…I dragged my hubby to a midnight release of Breaking Dawn. He was game to go with me (obvi. neither of us thought this through before going). He ended up being one of 4 men at B&N, clinging to my side so as not to be confused with a pedophile. Hahahahahaha, so I guess it wasn’t crazy for me, but the hubs seriously regretted the experience!

I also liked The Sky is Everywhere! I had a friend who went to ALA in New Orleans and she had a great time. Too far for me, though — I live outside Chicago, so I usually just go when it’s here. But, might make a road trip if it’s somewhere else….

Ahh I still need to go to an ALA conference someday, but they’re always so far away! I have not yet read anything by Stephanie Perkins, even though Anna and the French Kiss has been at the top of my TBR pile for like 8 months now– need to get on that because I hear it was fabulous!
